The Day of My Birth
That's not really me. But during the Infancy stages of my life I was taken care of by my neighbor, Mawmaw. She was a great care taker and a big role in my life, then and still today. I consider her like one of my grandma's -
First Steps
This shows my motor development and growth. Now I'm quite awkward with my movements and I'm really clumsey. This was the beginning of everything that I've been able to do today. -

First Day of Kindergaten- Evansville Lutheran School
This is my brother Jacob, we've been through everything together and I know he's always there for me when I need him. Whenever I was little I had seperation anxiety, because I didn't want to do anything alone. I look up to him now for being there with me, but dont tell him that. -
My Parents split up

My Awkward Stage
I went through a growth spurt at the end of my 5th grade year, I grew almost a foot in just a few months. All the boys bak then use to ask me how the weather was up there. They were just mad cause they were short. -
Met My First Best Friend at Washington
Paige Basham' s still one of my very good friends. She was the first person I met in my 6th grade homeroom class after I moved schools. I was changing alot in that point in my adolescence and I think its rare I found someone else that was doing the same. -
Sling Shot, Engaged!
My brother was making fun of me, and he had a lot of friends over. I guess to just pick on me because I'm younger, or make himself look better. I reacted preconventionally and shot him with a nickle with his sling shot. I wanted him to stop joking, and I wasn't thinking of the consequences or weither it would hurt him or not. -
First High School Sport
My brother signed me up for the golf team. By (peer) pressuring me into it I felt obligated. However I'm super glad he did because it is now my favorite hobby, -
Ashley
My cousin Ashley, is one of my best friends. During her senior year of high school she was over come by bulimia and anorexia. It was influenced by the stressful relaionship she was in at that time. By seeing her go through this I became very protective over her and since we are two of the three girls in our generation of the family, it makes our relationship even more important to me. -
First Trip Out West
My cousin Abby, my aunt Jenni and I spent a month in Wyoming at their Vacation home. I learned alot about life, friendship and what it really means to be happy out there. That trip helped me grow as a young adult. And how to take responsibilty by taking care of their land and such. -
Ducks Parents For A Day
One day at the park, a lady came up to Brian Ellen and I with two baby ducks, she said she found them in her yard and they needed a good home. so for hours we called everyone we knew trying to see if they wanted them. Until Brians aunt that lives on a farm, seemed intrested. They grew up and flew away like most kids do, but even in just a few hours we became incredibly attached to them. -
Weight loss
This past few months, after i joined the swim team, I went through a period when i had lost a lot of weight. By losing the 30 pounds that i did, it made my self esteem change completely. I started carrying my self differently and now I have the confidence to do more. -
Swimming Training Trip
I think that that on this trip, cliques were formed. Everyone began to get really sick of each other, but afterwards I think that everyone really felt like a team. And even though there was cliques, we all were one.
